The project has advanced in training of farmers in sustainable farming practices in both coffee and rice sectors and helped farmers adopt these practices on 30,000 ha of rice and 3,500 ha of coffee. More than 212,000 people have already benefited from the project training activities, against the target of 200,000 by the end of 2017. Coffee farmers in Central Highlands have a better access to good-quality seedling from 22 nurseries certified by the project, disease control monitoring by WASI and DARDs, and loans for coffee rejuvenation/replanting: from January 2017, the outstanding coffee loans increased from 0.5 billion VND provided by only 1 PFI to 122 billion VND provided by 5 PFIs in all Central Highlands’s provinces, triggered by the improvements initiated during the previous mission. The PPMUs have proactively engaged with Farmer Organizations, who advanced in adoption of sustainable farming practices, to prepare investment proposals, which are currently being finalized. Procurement performance has improved, while the Financial Management and Safeguards maintained satisfactory performance. In spite of the satisfactory progress made in completing the actions agreed during the December 2016 mission, the increase in disbursement of credit line after the initial constraints were removed, and the increase in total project disbursement from 5.4% in December 2016 to 9.4% in June 2017 (see more on the achievements below), the rating for the Overall Project Implementation is downgraded to MU, due to the high risk posed by the late and partial allocation of the IDA funds. The provinces received IDA funds for 2017 only on May 22 and just 20 percent of the annual work plan requirements. High attention is required to ensure the timely and full allocation of the funds for smooth project implementation. 6/29/2017 Page 2 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank
